The Nature Conservancy's Restoring America's Forests program has helped by doubling the pace of forest restoration on federal lands to at least 7 million acres a year. This program has had 1.66 million forested acres treated, 703 miles of stream improved, and more than 4,000 jobs a year created and maintained. Gifford Pinchot and John Muir were both foresters and politicians who wanted to help America’s forests. Pinchot wanted managed conservation, which meant that lands owned by the federal government could not only be used for recreation by the public but could also be used by industries. These industries included logging, mining, and extensive scientific research on tens of thousands of acres of land. He would serve as the first chief of the US Forest Service that now manages and conserves 193 million acres of forested lands and grasslands.

They manage forested lands for economic, recreational, and conservation purposes. They also have to help protect the natural features in a forest. The foresters must determine how to conserve wildlife habitats, creek beds, water quality, and soil stability. Foresters also must care for the forests. They must make a plan to decide when and where to plant trees. The foresters must monitor these trees for healthy growth and find out when they are ready to be harvested. Waste must be limited while trees are being harvested and it is the forester’s job to minimize the waste production. Foresters’ jobs are not as easy as they may
